The Geminids appear to come from the the constellation Gemini, hence the name.
They start to appear around the 6th of December and peak around the 13th or 14th, where you may see 50 to 80 meteors an hour.
The Southern Hemisphere dwellers are at a disadvantage and won’t see many.
For the Northern Hemisphere folks, looking a bit towards the East, if you find where the Gemini constellation is, half your battle is over.
Or as I like to do, drive to a dark spot with a blanket, pitch your lawn chair, put on the bug repellent, lay back, stare up and just hang out and wait.
I’ve been lucky enough once to have a meteor come low enough over my head that I heard it and it sounded liked crackling bacon. It was an awesome experience.
Good luck gang!
